Long gone are the days when we had to be experts in drafting by hand; computer-aided design (CAD) software and 3-D modeling tools can generate measured drawings and photorealistic renderings with a keystroke. When it comes to the design process, technology is both a blessing and a curse. Is this a good thing? Not always.

I’ve been asked by one of my industry software provider friends to write a piece on the current state of Building Information Modeling (BIM), as it relates to estimating in the here and now. In the building sector, BIM is largely confined to the design-build arena. Why Design-Build? BIM is fully useful now. It’s truly amazing.

Because the two dependent view will share the annotations of the parent view along with all the view settings, systems can be designed and documented in an overall view while the sheet (dependent) views reflect the big picture.
